A paraprofessional at the Brennan-Rogers School in New Haven has been arrested after being found with a loaded handgun at school, police said.
Police said they received a call from the school just after noon after a paraprofessional made a comment about bringing a weapon to school, police said.
She told them she had a registered handgun in her vehicle, but it was found on her, police said. They added that no threat was made.
Police identified her as 31-year-old Sonnetta Powell, who school officials said is assigned to the special education self-contained classroom. Police said the gun, which was found in her bra area, was registered to her.
